Be happy, dammit.  Come on, you can do it.

My goal is to explore subjects that interest me – and might interest you – with some occasional humor and less partisan spin. &nbsp; I call myself a conservative at about the 40‑yard line for Republicans but even that gets confusing given how far crazies and the media have moved the goalposts. &nbsp; My aim is simple: call out the crazy on all sides and pull the conversation back toward a sane middle.&nbsp; AND encourage people to read the actual source material instead of just repeating headlines or relying on the media to tell us what we need to know.&nbsp; Full disclosure, I probably miss some of the crazy on the right. If that sounds like your lane, give Views on the News from the Couch a try – and if you like it, please share it.&nbsp; Be safe, and wear sunscreen.
